Crown thinning involves the removal of the smaller branches within crown of the tree to reduce the density of the crown. Crossing and rubbing branches are removed to prevent further damage to the cambium (bark).
It results in improved light levels passing through the canopy thus reducing shading. It reduces the wind resistance of the crown and can slightly reduce the loading upon the limbs of the tree. Crown thinning does not alter the overall size or shape of the tree.
